Anyway, I'm not exactly new to SparkPeople...I'd say I've returned with the same profile, but just updated tremendously today!! So check that out. <BR>

Hey everyone! I'm a 24 year old law student who started P90X in the spring of my first year of law school. I had completed 30 days before finals came around and then fell off the wagon. After that, I had to take a leave of absence from school because my dad came home from physical therapy rehab and needed a "daddy-sitter" when my mom was at work. Now that my dad is more capable of doing things on his own, I'm working full time and have gained 10 lbs. since stopping P90X last time. <BR>

Hi. My name is Audra and I am currently in the process of building myself up to do p90x. i have the dvds and am buying the right foods at the grocery store. I feel I need to be more mentally prepared. I will be going on vacation in a few months and would like to look fantastic! But I would also like to keep up with the program, not slack off and once the 90 days are completed, go back to my regular routine (no thanks). This is a lifestyle change that needs to be done. <BR>

Hi Team. <BR>
Recently I completed the 90 days, lost 40 pounds, and gained a ton of strength. It's been 2 months and I have gained 4 pounds. Sounds like not that much but I feel really stuck. Also I can't seem to get the fire going under my workouts any more. I'm still walking or jogging 4-6 miles etch day or cycling. I still have another 40 pounds to I reach my goal. During the day I'm great but find myself doing the late night eating thing again. I would love input from others. <BR>

The problem is that I do not have much of a support network.

Hello Spark family today is day 1 of my starting p90x lean. <BR>
I made it through 1/2 way then I started feeling like I was going to puke so I decided it may be time to stop. I'm not going to allow that to stop me though. I know its only day one, so it's not unlikely for someone to start feeling sick after a hard exercise. I will not give up and I'm blessed enough to have my boyfriend supporting me and keeping me focused. I'm ready for the next 90 days.Tue, 31 May 2011 20:55:45 ESTHELLO!http://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/team_messageboard_thread.asp?board=-1x25689x41921031

I was given a copy of p90x and a copy of the basic programs. But, I wasn't given anything about the eating plan or the workout sheets to use with the strength workouts.

Hello Team! <BR>

Today is Day 2 of P90 masters series for me. However I have mixed in some of the P90x exercises like kenpo, cardio x and ab ripper x to make it less boring. I did regular P90 for 90 days and then half a masters program. Lost about 25 lbs and then gained about 5 back this winter. I am looking forward to getting back into better shape. <BR>

I just don't know if I should continue with this program or quit and try something else. I keep thinking that my muscle mass is increasing and one day the pounds will start melting.

As most of you know one of the keys to motivation is to identify your goal. So I thought that it would be a perfect topic for discussion. Post away! <BR>

My husband & I work as a team & keep each other motivated & positive on our journey to weight loss. Our children keep us busy with sports & dance classes. I have a daycare business that also keeps us both busy all the time. I love my life, family & friends. My goal is to become healthier for me, my kids & husband.

I'm getting ready to start P90X. I was going to start on July 5th, so my rest day would be on Sunday. The problem I have is that darn YogaX. It is so long, and during the week, I'm really limited on my time. I have an hour+ commute each way. <BR>
<BR>
Should I give up my Sunday rest day to put YogaX on the weekend? Or should I keep my Sunday rest day and shorten the YogaX workout? I don't want to shortchange myself, but I have to be able to make this work for me or I won't do it. <BR>

So far, so GREAT ~ lost 6 lbs, a few inches over all - except legs, where I've gained an inch :) LOVING P90X, it's transforming my body and I'm learning SO much about nutrition and giving my body the appropriate fuel to feel amazing and get the results I want.

I'm still getting good results, but am considering trying P90X here and there. I am very intimidated by it. Am I going to feel like I'm starting over? <BR>

What type of snacks do eat while on P90x or any intensity workouts, let me know please. I gained about 5 lbs of muscle, and I know it is temporarily. I need to make sure I am eating good snacks, I am a huge fans of pistachios, cashews, peanuts, almonds, or course I know there is fruit and veggies. I am not sure about greek yogurt, I feel bloated when I eat dairy, but I know I need it and it is important.

Is there such a thing? I hated fiber supplements until I discovered Benefiber - it really does dissolve into anything and goes unnoticed. <BR>
<BR>
Is there a protein powder that does the same thing? I really dislike protein drinks and bars for the most part (unless they're loaded with sugar and that defeats the purpose). <BR>
<BR>
I get most of my protein from meats, beans, cheeses, eggs, etc but if I could find a protein supplement that was essentially flavor free, that would be nice.Fri, 30 Apr 2010 15:44:47 ESTFacebookhttp://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/team_messageboard_thread.asp?board=0x25689x33769872

I bought the p90x tapes but not the booklet and that stuff...what do you guys do every day? do you just choose one of the tapes and do it? or is there a system? <BR>
<BR>
Also How do you enter the p90x program into your fitness hours here on sparkpeople.com? Do you count it as cardio? and if you are putting the weight lifting in are you putting it in individually or at all?Tue, 4 Aug 2009 15:32:42 ESTjust getting started on Spark peoplehttp://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/team_messageboard_thread.asp?board=-1x25689x27303841
Hi, I've been doing P90X for quite a while. I am on my second 90 day week 7. I have lost 12 pounds. I am working hard to lose weight. I find that no matter how hard I work out I am not losing. I think it may have something to do with my food intake. I like the food calculator. I'm finding I'm eating more that what I should. I hope this will help me to lose more weight and body fat.Tue, 28 Jul 2009 08:59:49 ESTIs there anyway?????http://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/team_messageboard_thread.asp?board=7566x25689x27256936
Is there anyway to find people in my area of town who are signed up to do P90X? I would really like to find someone who lives around me to BUDDY up to say. It is hard for me to do the buddy board, I am needing lots of LIVE motivation, I am getting bored by myself. Is there any way to find any one??? <BR>

Hi- <BR>
I'm in week 5 of the classic version, and I haven't lost ANY weight. I actually was up 2 lbs for awhile, but now I'm back to my starting weight. I know muscle weighs more than fat and I have lost a little in inches, but its still frustrating, because before I started the program was loosing weight at about 1 lb to 1.5 a week.
